It’s time for MFB Challenge!Yes its 10th of the month, so soon, time is flying! It was tough to select a recipe this time! It is Cooking from a Country Bangladesh! Tehari is an aromatic and mouthwatering rice dish popular throughout Bangladesh!When i was browsing for Bangladeshi recipes Bengali cuisine was popping out and was totally confused what to do!Lots of research helped me to find some lovely Bangladeshi recipes!When i found one i was again fouled up what to make?hehe!

There are surely many other interesting recipes like Khala vuna(spicy black beef) dimmer khorma kosha mangsho and many roti types too!Bookmarked some of them to try!Tehari caught my attention because of the way it’s cooked.The masala is adding to the 90 percent cooked rice and then mix it and keep it on dum,and im happy that i selected this one!We enjoyed every bit of it!MFB challenge really helped me to learn many different cuisines!Thanks to the sweet host!
